Hello all, could anyone tell me if they have experienced issues with older cdrom drives not particularly liking "burned" cd's of linux? I have a stack of IBM xseries 305 servers and I frequently have issues with SLE cd's that I burn, I use the same burner and download methods as I did with Netware , I though at first it was the linux tools so I rebooted and burned a copy in Windows, still the cd has boot or copy errors, then I decided to burn a fresh netware 6.5 disk but it booted and copied files just fine. I got new SLE iso's from another computer and burned those on that machine still varying issues with boot and file copies. Any Ideas.
different burners too, IBM multiburners as well as generic hitachi -- James Tremblay
----------- This is not an abnormal experience. One of the biggest reasons I've seen this is due to the faster burning rates of the newer drives compared to the slow read speeds of the older drives. Sometimes burning at a much slower speed, 6 or under, will allow the old drives to read the media again. This may be partly also due to the media produced to allow faster burns. A cleaning disc may be helpful if the drives have not been cleaned in a very long time.
